Boston MA. is located in the East Coast of the United States. If your taking (PAL) Philippine Airlines, from Manila you fly to San Francisco which is at least a 13 hour flight. Then you take another airline to fly you to Boston which is another 6 hours flight. A total of 19 hours of “Butt numbing” plane ride. There is also a 12 hour time difference between Manila and Boston. When its 12 noon in manila its 12 midnight in Boston. Talk about major jet lag But in spite of all of this it is definitely worth it because the city is beautiful.I like how the city of Boston incorporates modernity without losing its 18 th century nostalgic look with its brick facade on most of the building, roads and other establishments.
Strangely there is only 1 shopping mall in the city called "Prudential" which is still very small compared to the other malls in other parts of the states but there are a lot of specialty stores and shop located in the Newberry area like Nike, Gucci, City Sports just to name a few, which I really like. The Problems is every time I want to buy something they don’t have my size but then again maybe it’s not a problem cause I get to save some extra bucks :-).
I also notice is that There is hardly any Filipinos around compared to San Francisco (more on my next blog entry) this is good because it sharpens my slang :-) ha ha.
Boston being a University city, You feel very safe which is very important for my wife and I. Boston will be my daughter second home for the next 5 years.
Lastly, what really got me excited is because Boston is the running capital of the United States I literally went Gaga when I saw all sorts of monument , land mark and specialty stores related to running. It was a runners dream come true.
Maybe God permitting it would be great to settle down in this city. Thanks BOSTON for the wonderful time see you soon again.
